Hardcore tag ditched, cue the 'core-gamer'

Notice how no-one mentions 'hardcore gamers' anymore in the press releases? Well you're not the only one. Consider it a 're-adjustment' on the part of the PR sector of the games industry.

So if you're reading up on all the coverage about E3 next month, and the phrase core-gamer keeps cropping up where hardcore used to lie, well lets just say they hope you don't think too much of it. Funny thing is, the term core-gamer is about as well defined as hardcore gamer, as in, not at all.
